This paper presents a method for the dynamic analysis of a thin, elastic, isotropic rectangular plate. The method is a hybrid of "nite element theory and classical thin plate theory. The displacement functions are derived from Sanders' thin-shell equations, and are expanded in power series. Expressi

The plate characteristic functions are used to express the deflection shapes in the Rayleigh-Ritz method to study rectangular plate vibrations. Since the plate characteristic functions are reasonable approximations to the vibration modes, they are found to improve the convergence of vibration freque
We investigate a new rectangular element for the Reissner-Mindlin model based on the primitive variable system. Nonconforming rotated Q1 element is used to approximate the transverse displacement, and the biquadratic element is used for the rotation. A convergent error estimate is obtained, which is
